Tom Odell : Long way down (2013)

1. Grow old with me
I can feel you breathing
With your hair on my skin
As we lie here within
The night
I'll pull the sheets
When it's cold on your feet
Cuz you'll fall back to sleep
Every time
Grow old with me
Let us share what we see
And oh the best it could be
Just you and I
And our hands they might age
And our bodies will change
But we'll still be the same
As we are
We'll still sing our song
When our hair ain't so blonde
And our children have sung
We were right
They'll sing
Grow old with me
Let us share what we see
And oh the best it could be
Just you and I
And the hairs they stand up
And my feet start to thump
Yer the feeling is dreaming
Around
You'll be the one
Make me hurt, make me come
Make me feel like I'm real
And alive
Grow old with me
Let us share what we see
And oh the best it could be
Just you and I
Grow old with me
Let us share what we see
And oh the best it could be
Just you and I
With your hair on my skin
As we lie here within
The night
I'll pull the sheets
When it's cold on your feet
Cuz you'll fall back to sleep
Every time
Grow old with me
Let us share what we see
And oh the best it could be
Just you and I
And our hands they might age
And our bodies will change
But we'll still be the same
As we are
We'll still sing our song
When our hair ain't so blonde
And our children have sung
We were right
They'll sing
Grow old with me
Let us share what we see
And oh the best it could be
Just you and I
And the hairs they stand up
And my feet start to thump
Yer the feeling is dreaming
Around
You'll be the one
Make me hurt, make me come
Make me feel like I'm real
And alive
Grow old with me
Let us share what we see
And oh the best it could be
Just you and I
Grow old with me
Let us share what we see
And oh the best it could be
Just you and I
2. Hold me
I shouldn't say it,
But I'm starting to think I care
I've had a drink, you probably think
My judgement is impaired
And it's getting late now
And we're a long way from our homes
Before you leave, before you grieve
There's one thing you should know
When you hold me
Hold me in your arms
Hold me
I can feel your heart
When you hold me
Hold me in your arms
Hold me
I can feel your heart singing
And suddenly I'm standing
On a treetop up so high
And all the songs and all the poems
Suddenly they're right
But I'm dumfounded
By the breadths of your self control
But I don't care because you here
And you and I both know
When you hold me
Hold me in your arms
Hold me
Yer your bringing out the stars
Way you hold me
Hold me in your arms
Hold me
I can feel your heart beating
But I'm starting to think I care
I've had a drink, you probably think
My judgement is impaired
And it's getting late now
And we're a long way from our homes
Before you leave, before you grieve
There's one thing you should know
When you hold me
Hold me in your arms
Hold me
I can feel your heart
When you hold me
Hold me in your arms
Hold me
I can feel your heart singing
And suddenly I'm standing
On a treetop up so high
And all the songs and all the poems
Suddenly they're right
But I'm dumfounded
By the breadths of your self control
But I don't care because you here
And you and I both know
When you hold me
Hold me in your arms
Hold me
Yer your bringing out the stars
Way you hold me
Hold me in your arms
Hold me
I can feel your heart beating
3. Another love
I wanna take you somewhere so you know I care
But it's so cold and I don't know where
So I picked you daffodils in a pretty string
But they won't flower like they did last spring
And I wanna kiss you, make you feel alright
But I'm just so tired to share my nights
I wanna cry and I wanna love but all my tears have been used up
On another love, another love
All my tears have been used up
On another love, another love
All my tears have been used up
On another love another love
All my tears have been used up
And if somebody hurts you yeah I wanna fight
But my hands been broken one too many times
So I use my voice, I'll be so f***ing rude
Words they always win, but I know I'll lose
Yeah I'd sing a song, that'll be just ours
But I sang 'em all to another heart
I wanna cry I want to learn to love
But all my tears have been used up
On another love, another love
All my tears have been used up
On another love, another love
All my tears have been used up
On another love, another love
All my tears have been used up
Yer I'd sing a song that'd be just ours
But I sang them all to another heart
And I wanna cry, I wanna fall in love
But all my tears have been used up
On another love, another love
All my tears have been used up
On another love, another love
All my tears have been used up
On another love, another love
All my tears have been used up
But it's so cold and I don't know where
So I picked you daffodils in a pretty string
But they won't flower like they did last spring
And I wanna kiss you, make you feel alright
But I'm just so tired to share my nights
I wanna cry and I wanna love but all my tears have been used up
On another love, another love
All my tears have been used up
On another love, another love
All my tears have been used up
On another love another love
All my tears have been used up
And if somebody hurts you yeah I wanna fight
But my hands been broken one too many times

4. I know
Cold hands, white light
Yellow lamps, on blackened skys
Duffel hoods and deep brown eyes
I'll sing you a song that I think you'll like
And we'll walk the places we always go
A million faces that I don't know
I'll say the words you always hopes
Set our hearts racing even though
I know what you told me
I know that it's all over
I know I can't keep calling
It's just every time I run
I keep on falling
I know what you told me
I know that it's all over
I know I can't keep calling
It's just every time I run
I keep on falling on you
On the way you stand, on the way you sway
The way your hair curls in the rain
To the little lines that write your face
Or the winter nights you come and stay
Or the way you hit me when you wanna fight
The way you yearn the way you cry
The way our love rolls with the tides
But we know we'll make up everytime
I know what you told me
I know that it's all over
I know I can't keep calling
It's just every time I run
I keep on falling
I know what you told me
I know that it's all over
I know I can't keep calling
It's just every time I run
I keep on falling on you
Won't you bring me all the things that I need
Like falling rain to a rolling sea
Won't you bring me all the things that I need
I know what you told me
I know that it's all over
I know I can't keep calling
It's just every time I run
I keep on falling
I know what you told me
I know that its all over
I know I can't keep calling
It's just every time I run
I keep on falling on you
I know what you told me
I know that it's all over
I know I can't keep calling
It's just every time I run
I keep on falling
I know what you told me
I know that it's all over
I know I can't keep calling
It's just every time I run
I keep on falling on you
Yellow lamps, on blackened skys
Duffel hoods and deep brown eyes
I'll sing you a song that I think you'll like
And we'll walk the places we always go
A million faces that I don't know
I'll say the words you always hopes
Set our hearts racing even though
I know what you told me
I know that it's all over
I know I can't keep calling
It's just every time I run
I keep on falling
I know what you told me
I know that it's all over
I know I can't keep calling
It's just every time I run
I keep on falling on you
On the way you stand, on the way you sway
The way your hair curls in the rain
To the little lines that write your face
Or the winter nights you come and stay
Or the way you hit me when you wanna fight
The way you yearn the way you cry
The way our love rolls with the tides
But we know we'll make up everytime
I know what you told me
I know that it's all over
I know I can't keep calling
It's just every time I run
I keep on falling
I know what you told me
I know that it's all over
I know I can't keep calling
It's just every time I run
I keep on falling on you
Won't you bring me all the things that I need
Like falling rain to a rolling sea
Won't you bring me all the things that I need
I know what you told me
I know that it's all over
I know I can't keep calling
It's just every time I run
I keep on falling

It's just every time I run
I keep on falling
I know what you told me
I know that it's all over
I know I can't keep calling
It's just every time I run
I keep on falling on you
5. Sense
Hard to know
Maybe if I skimmed the stone
Walk a different way back home
It would all make sense
Or shut my eyes
Loose my self in teenage lies
If I fell in love a thousand times
Would it all make sense?
Cuz I've been feeling pretty small
Sometimes feel like I'm slipping down walls
And every line I ever get a hold
Seems to break
Could call you up
I could tell you just how much
No maybe I will just get drunk
And it will it all make sense
Or if weren't so nice
Convince my friends that you weren't right
Promise you my heart don't cry
But would it all make sense
Cuz I've been feeling pretty small
Sometimes feel like I'm slipping down walls
And every line I ever get a hold
Seems to break
Oh I, I've been feeling pretty small
Sometimes feel like I'm slipping down walls
And every line I ever get a hold
Seems to break
Maybe if I skimmed the stone
Walk a different way back home
It would all make sense
Or shut my eyes
Loose my self in teenage lies
If I fell in love a thousand times
Would it all make sense?
Cuz I've been feeling pretty small
Sometimes feel like I'm slipping down walls
And every line I ever get a hold
Seems to break
Could call you up
I could tell you just how much
No maybe I will just get drunk
And it will it all make sense
Or if weren't so nice
Convince my friends that you weren't right
Promise you my heart don't cry
But would it all make sense
Cuz I've been feeling pretty small
Sometimes feel like I'm slipping down walls
And every line I ever get a hold
Seems to break
Oh I, I've been feeling pretty small
Sometimes feel like I'm slipping down walls
And every line I ever get a hold
Seems to break
6. Can't pretend
Love, I have wounds,
Only you can mend,
You can mend.
I guess that's love,
I can't pretend,
Can't pretend.
Feel, my skin is rough,
But it can be cleansed,
Can be cleansed.
And my arms are tough,
But they can be bent,
Can be bent.
And I wanna fight,
But I can't contend.
I guess that's love,
I can't pretend,
Can't pretend.
Oh feel our bodies grow,
And our souls they blend.
Yeah love I hope you know,
How much my heart depends.
But I guess that's love, I can't pretend.
I guess that's love, I can't pretend.
Oh feel our bodies grow,
And our souls they blend.
Yeah love I hope you know,
How much my heart depends.
I guess that's love, I can't pretend.
I guess that's love, I can't pretend.
Only you can mend,
You can mend.
I guess that's love,
I can't pretend,
Can't pretend.
Feel, my skin is rough,
But it can be cleansed,
Can be cleansed.
And my arms are tough,
But they can be bent,
Can be bent.
And I wanna fight,
But I can't contend.
I guess that's love,
I can't pretend,
Can't pretend.
Oh feel our bodies grow,
And our souls they blend.
Yeah love I hope you know,
How much my heart depends.
But I guess that's love, I can't pretend.

7. Till I lost
A coffee stain on a window sill
A bad translation to a foreign film
Or just wondering round with you
Just wondering town with you
Oh oh oh oh
Would be enough
The tiny cracks on the city stone
A welcome back to your troubled home
Or just wondering round with you
Just wondering town with you
Oh oh oh oh
Would be enough
But ohhhhhhhhhhhh
I didn't see the sea until I crossed
Ohhhhhhhhh
And I didn't feel your love until I lost
The moving shadows on your swaying light
Or you picture notes of porcupines
Or just wondering round with you
Just wondering town with you
Oh oh oh oh would be enough
But ohhhhhhhhhhhh
I didn't see the sea until I crossed
Ohhhhhhhhh
And I didn't feel your love until I lost
A bad translation to a foreign film
Or just wondering round with you
Just wondering town with you
Oh oh oh oh
Would be enough
The tiny cracks on the city stone
A welcome back to your troubled home
Or just wondering round with you
Just wondering town with you
Oh oh oh oh
Would be enough
But ohhhhhhhhhhhh
I didn't see the sea until I crossed
Ohhhhhhhhh
And I didn't feel your love until I lost
The moving shadows on your swaying light
Or you picture notes of porcupines
Or just wondering round with you
Just wondering town with you
Oh oh oh oh would be enough
But ohhhhhhhhhhhh
I didn't see the sea until I crossed
Ohhhhhhhhh
And I didn't feel your love until I lost
8. Supposed to be
Sat on the rooftop
Watching the birds flying free
Watching the clouds walk
Watching the rain become the sea
Hearing my love talk
In every breathe she ever breathes
Like it was supposed to be
Like that
But then we broke up
She went west and I went east
She got a new boyfriend
A little too soon if your asking me
But I've heard that she loves him
A little bit more than she'll ever love me
And it was always supposed to be
Like that
I looked to the skyline
Said, how many falls until fly
Looked to the old times
I said, how many wrongs until I'm right
Because I know that's its tough now
But is love always, love always this unkind
So I sat on the rooftop
Watching the birds flying free
Watching the clouds walk
Watching the rain become the sea
And just for a moment
Just for a moment I felt so free...
Like it was always supposed to be
Like that
Watching the birds flying free
Watching the clouds walk
Watching the rain become the sea
Hearing my love talk
In every breathe she ever breathes
Like it was supposed to be
Like that
But then we broke up
She went west and I went east
She got a new boyfriend
A little too soon if your asking me
But I've heard that she loves him
A little bit more than she'll ever love me
And it was always supposed to be
Like that
I looked to the skyline
Said, how many falls until fly
Looked to the old times
I said, how many wrongs until I'm right
Because I know that's its tough now
But is love always, love always this unkind
So I sat on the rooftop
Watching the birds flying free
Watching the clouds walk
Watching the rain become the sea
And just for a moment
Just for a moment I felt so free...
Like it was always supposed to be
Like that
9. Long way down
Walking on the rooftops
Talking of times
With our eyes a glowing
Like the city lights
She stands on the ledge,
She says, 'it looks so high'
You know it's a...
Long way down
Feels like a long way down
Feels like a long way down
Like a long way down
So honey don't leave, don't leave,
Please don't leave me now
Cuz I can feel the rivers
Winding through the lands
Two lines, and a poet
Like a kind old rye
You know we could talk in that language
Only we understand
But you know..
It's a long way down
You know it's a long way down
Feels like a long way down
Love it feels like a long way down
So honey don't leave, don't leave,
Please don't leave me now
Talking of times
With our eyes a glowing
Like the city lights
She stands on the ledge,
She says, 'it looks so high'
You know it's a...
Long way down
Feels like a long way down
Feels like a long way down
Like a long way down
So honey don't leave, don't leave,
Please don't leave me now
Cuz I can feel the rivers
Winding through the lands
Two lines, and a poet
Like a kind old rye
You know we could talk in that language
Only we understand
But you know..
It's a long way down
You know it's a long way down
Feels like a long way down
Love it feels like a long way down
So honey don't leave, don't leave,
Please don't leave me now
10. Sirens
Tear me down
Tell me I don't need to fear
Tell me now
Tell me some bodies near
'Cause sirens
Sirens are all I hear
They keep calling out
Calling out someone's name
Keep calling out
And all you can do is pray
That these sirens
Sirens don't come our way
Or we'll be
All run run running away
We'll be
All run run running away
All run run running away
When sirens they come our way
It's raining now
Raining on someone's fears
Raining down
I've heard the rain is the city's tears
But these sirens
These sirens are all I hear
And they keep calling out
Calling out someone's name
Keep calling out
And all I can do is pray
That these sirens
Sirens don't come our way
Or we'll be
All run run running away
We'll be
All run run running away
All run run running away
When sirens they come our way
Tell me I don't need to fear
Tell me now
Tell me some bodies near
'Cause sirens
Sirens are all I hear
They keep calling out
Calling out someone's name
Keep calling out
And all you can do is pray
That these sirens
Sirens don't come our way
Or we'll be
All run run running away
We'll be
All run run running away
All run run running away
When sirens they come our way
It's raining now
Raining on someone's fears
Raining down
I've heard the rain is the city's tears
But these sirens
These sirens are all I hear
And they keep calling out
Calling out someone's name
Keep calling out
And all I can do is pray
That these sirens
Sirens don't come our way
Or we'll be
All run run running away
We'll be
All run run running away
All run run running away
When sirens they come our way
11. I think it's going to rain today
Broken windows and empty hallways
A pale dead moon in the sky streaked with gray
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's going to rain today
Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles
With frozen smiles to chase love away
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's going to rain today
Lonely, lonely
Tin can at my feet
Think I'll kick it down the street
That's the way to treat a friend
Bright before me the signs implore me
To help the needy and show them the way
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's going to rain today
A pale dead moon in the sky streaked with gray
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's going to rain today
Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles
With frozen smiles to chase love away
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's going to rain today
Lonely, lonely
Tin can at my feet
Think I'll kick it down the street
That's the way to treat a friend
Bright before me the signs implore me
To help the needy and show them the way
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's going to rain today
12. Storms
So long
So long living
With these heavy clouds
Following me
Can't go
Can't go on running
With these muddy roads
Holding my feet
Need one of these storms
One of these storms
One of these storms
To wash me clean
So long
I've spent so long
Just living
With these heavy clothes
Upon my skin
So long
So long thinking
These sleepless nights
They keep me thin
I need one of these storms
One of these storms
One of these storms
To wash me clean
I need one of these storms
One of these storms
One of these storms
To wash me clean
So long living
With these heavy clouds
Following me
Can't go
Can't go on running
With these muddy roads
Holding my feet
Need one of these storms
One of these storms
One of these storms
To wash me clean
So long
I've spent so long
Just living
With these heavy clothes
Upon my skin
So long
So long thinking
These sleepless nights
They keep me thin
I need one of these storms
One of these storms
One of these storms
To wash me clean
I need one of these storms
One of these storms
One of these storms
To wash me clean
13. Heal
Take my mind and take my pain
Like an empty bottle takes the rain
And heal.
Take my past and take my sins
Like an empty sail takes the wind
And heal.
And tell me some things last
And tell me some things last
Take my heart and take my hand
Like an ocean takes the dirty sands
And heal
Take my mind and take my pain
Like an empty bottle takes the rain
And heal
And tell me some things last
And tell me some things last
Like an empty bottle takes the rain
And heal.
Take my past and take my sins
Like an empty sail takes the wind
And heal.
And tell me some things last
And tell me some things last
Take my heart and take my hand
Like an ocean takes the dirty sands
And heal
Take my mind and take my pain
Like an empty bottle takes the rain
And heal
And tell me some things last
And tell me some things last
